Beguine Dodói [English translation]

My love, look what remains

Of that great hero

Without your love, I got crazy and I've been sick

Like Tarzan after the flu

Using 'Sabiá' poultice1

By getting hammered in the taverns

I'll kill myself

I pop my pimples before the mirror

Remembering you

I pray the novena, have some eggnog

Oh, I've had enough!

Let me be helped by Julio Louzada2

In this deadly suffering

Maracujina3 no longer has any effects

When I remember

Taupe colored socks, red garters and a killer look

My Delilah, come back soon

Your Samson is feeling bad...
